This was a truly interdisciplinary event, which included contributions from eminent speakers in the fields of English, history, theatre and law. The intention was to provide a congenial forum for the exploration, dissemination and discussion of Shakespeare's evident fascination with and knowledge of law, and its manifestation in his works. The papers included in this volume reflect the diverse academic interests of participants at the conference. The eclectic themes of the edited collection range from analyses of the juristic content of specific plays, as in 'Consideration, Contract and the End of The Comedy of Errors', 'Judging Isabella: Justice, Care and Relationships in Measure for Measure', 'Law and its Subversion in Romeo and Juliet', 'Inheritance in the Legal and Ideological Debate of Shakespeare's King Lear' and 'The Law of Dramatic Properties in The Merchant of Venice', to more general explorations of Shakespearean jurisprudence, including 'Shakespeare and Specific Performance', 'Shakespeare and the Marriage Contract', 'The Tragedy of Law in Shakespearean Romance' and 'Punishment Theory in the Renaissance: the Law and the Drama' 606 $aLaw and literature$xHistory$y16th century 606 $2Law & society 606 $aLaw and literature$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLaw$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century$vCongresses 606 $aLaw$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century$vCongresses 606 $aLaw in literature$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLaw$xHistory 615 0$aLaw$xHistory 615 0$aLaw in literature 676 $a349.4209031 702 $aRaffield$b Paul 702 $aWatt$b Gary 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454406203321 996 $aShakespeare and the law$92436717 997 $aUNINA
